Hello, I'm Yoshi!! I started my second career as a tour guide after retiring from the Japanese computer company I had worked for about 40 years. I was born in Asakusa and grew up in down town in Tokyo. I’m married with two daughters and three grandchildren, two girls and a boy.
I've experienced guiding international visitors in Tokyo and other famous sightseeing spots as a guide for several years. I will be so happy to help you enjoy your stay in Japan. Look forward to joining my tour!!

“Interesting temple visit! ”
Yoshi is a very kind and knowledgeable guide. I got to see a fire ceremony at a temple in Fukagawa. My guide picked a very delicious restaurant that had traditional food. I also had a very interesting visit to a garden and learned how the shoguns spent their time there. I would definitely recommend Yoshi as a guide! Thanks so much!
